Abstract
Paclobutrazol (PBZ) applied to almond fruits 25 days after full bloom delayed the growth of fruits and seeds. The period of the delay and th e amount of retardation depended on the paclobutrazol concentration ap plied. Seeds from the treated fruits germinated well, except those tre ated twice with 4000 mg L(-1) which showed only a low percentage of ge rmination. Seeds treated just before sowing failed to germinate.
